    "It is rural and quiet. Dogs will like the nature of it all. There are no sidewalks but there is a nearby park. Homes are spread apart for the most part and gives dogs places to roam and not be distracted and bark. It is a good place to live. "

    "Iv lived here just over 4 years. It's quiet, except for your usual stuff like the occasional idiot flying through in their jacked up truck. You can walk to Two convenience stores and a few restaurants, a comic shop, a brew pub and a few other things. Far enough away from Asheville to be enjoyable but close enough to get there if nerd be.
